GOOD PRACTICE MOB LIGHTS
GOOD PRACTICE
✓
Well positioned, mounted correctly
✓
Line not coiled/wrapped around light, thus ready for immediate deployment
The momentum of the falling lifebuoy pulls the light from its bracket. If the line is too short, coiled, or wrapped around the light, the lifebuoy will just hang beneath the light, still sitting in its bracket
BAD PRACTICE
✗
Light mounted inboard – will not deploy
✗
Light in very poor condition
